Moreover, we generalize a theorem of Horadam on partial sums involving such sequences. Also, we find closed forms for weighted (by binomial coefficients) partial sums of powers of any non-degenerate second-order recurrence sequences. As corollaries we give some known and seemingly unknown identities and derive some very interesting congruence relations involving Fibonacci and Lucas sequences.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-10-15T03:33:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A10", "05A19", "11B37", "11B39", "11B65" ], "keywords": [ "generating function", "non-degenerate second-order recurrence sequence", "non-weighted sums", "partial sums", "closed form" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000math.....10149S" } } }
